news media portrayals...

[phil cash cash]

Dear ILAT,

it is common knowledge that the news media sometimes operates on notions
of difference when it comes to the portrayal of ethnic minorities.  a
news article that was posted to ILAT recently (9/11/05) is getting
recirculated with the obvious headline:

Indian tribe takes up dying tongue for money
Chicago Sun-Times, United States - Sep 11, 2005
http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-colo12.html

forget the aspirations of cultural revitalization, its all about the
money!
